PDF Remembering the Days of Sorrow by Ronald E. Goodwin in History

Description

She's been kidnapped and beaten; lives under surveillance; and can only get online—in disguise—at tourist hotspots. She's a blogger; she's a Cuban; and she's a worldwide sensation.Yoani Sánchez is an unusual dissident: no street protests; no attacks on big politicos; no calls for revolution. Rather; she produces a simple diary about what it means to live under the Castro regime: the chronic hunger and the difficulty of shopping; the art of repairing ancient appliances; and the struggles of living under a propaganda machine that pushes deep into public and private life. For these simple acts of truth-telling her life is one of constant threat. But she continues on; refusing to be silenced—a living response to all who have ceased to believe in a future for Cuba.
